and Evo man! - you wish you were in as good of shape as me right now! Big Boy! heheheh yeah ok- I lifted a few weights tonight and... well.... do some push on the chest and some pull on he back and then throw in somw squats (holy cow) I'm all macho!!

the swim went great. only swam 10 laps tryin the new stroke/kick. I like the "2 beat" swim sparrow. It made my upper body take on the load and let my legs just kinda go along for the ride. You are very smaht!! VEEEERY smaht in deed. Thanks for these bit of advice so much, and i promise to follow them the best I can.

Well, no more lifting until after the OLYMPIC LENGTH TRIATHLON!< i love the sound of that!

It's going to be a long week without draining my energy!

her is my sample race day breakfast for review. I am trying it right now. this Pita bread and peanut butter is yummy. A bit hard to swallow. Oh, and I also had 2 large scoops of flaxseed with water.

ADD ONS TO RACE DAY BREAKFAST: whole food jelly- all natural, and a big chunk of baked samon. I will eat at 5:00 am, then take short walk to see sun rise, head for race location and take off at 7:am. Finish by 10:am (hoping hoping hoping)

And Sparrow, other than practicing Tri-transitions, this is REALLY all I am supposed to do today. I may burst- omg... hahaha

went out last night bought my shorts, staying with a surfer style loose shorts, but I bought a Nike brand that has a silky inliner to help with that dang bike seat. Didn't go with the triathlon shorts because they feel like I am wearing rubberbands around my veins. next time I will train that way the whole time, didn;t pick a shirt yet.

cool light run a bit after 9 I have toooo much energy, when I took off in a sprint the sweat just surfaced and came sooo fast. I can NOT believe how well the body works when you do what is recommended by the pros!!!

Tonight will be hell, but I got raging bull collectors edition to watch.

3 day count down. but tomorrow night we leave and head for location so it will be fun too.
 
all shopping is done, sent last minute question to Sparrow, no work out at all.

Work tomorrow until 4:00, leave for location, and settle in.

FIRST TRIATHLON ON SUNDAY!!! here we go! Getter Done!
 
omg...i didnt know you had a training log. FF WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME! lol! your way better looking than i imagined!
i started reading your log 3 pages in! good stuff!!! you said you can do 17 chinups! wow thats freakin awesome! handstand pushups too wow! il follow this from now on.
cheers
 
Todd, thinking of you as you leave for your competition. Be strong my friend.
You have the tools for these fools! And when you return we will all drool! ROCK ON!................Hope to hear from when you return so you can tell us about it. You are a winner..........



Chillen
 
I tried to call you, but the number was the office phone. I wanted to personally wish you good luck and goodwill on your effort. FF. I left you rather "normal" chillen message, LOL

it was 89 degrees, feels like 101 at the finish. The lake water was 79 degrees.

SO- what i learned- LOTS!!!!! this was totally intense. The chain of events--omg. This was one of those times that my retardation got me thru a ruff spto that my stupidity got me into-- It is fun being me, but one hell fo a ride sometimes.

I LEARNED!!!
1. Protect your body the day before your event. See my toe from chasing my son around at the lake. Mind you this was done less that 12 hours prior to my start time.

2. Do not cop an attitude and blow your diet on the last night. I ate a ribeye steak, lower(restaurant) quality, and I had desert. AND - I blew chunks when I was just over half way in the swim. I had also drank a protein shake, ate a chunk of salmon, and peanut butter on pita bread at 5:am for pre-race Breakfast.

THE LESSON- race on an empty stomach.

3. Learn about race conditions. When we ran into the water it was so warm it almost felt hot. And you coul not see, it was dark brown lake water.

THE LESSON- Swim in condition you will race in. The swim nearly killed me, I had to float in the water nearly 15 minutes to recover from throwing up. The the mental torture from other swimmers was not good.

3. LEARN ABOUT RACE CONDITIONS. Hills galore, mega hills and many hills. I fell over on my bike twice because I was refusing to get off and walk, like the rest. i threw up on the bike too. i ate 3 GUS in an attempt to overcome throwing up in the water, but they made me throw up all my accelerade again.

THE LESSON- Ride in conditions you will race in.

3a. Do not let everybody go out first tryin to be humble. Many of them can't swim and they kick the crapola out of you as you are passing- chumps knocked my goggles off twice!

4. LEARN ABOUT RACE CONDITIONS!!! The run was hills and I had not been running hills either.

5. Read the rules as soon as you register, so you can train appropriately. NO MP3 player turned out to be a major setback for me. I had not trained in silence. The breathing, shoes on the ground, and other people breathing was very fatiguing. I ended up singing "Ol McDonald had a farm" and used all the letters of the alphabet to pick animals, birds, and insects for topics.

After the swim and ride reduced me to a small child- "ol McDonald" is the best I could do. hahahahaha

and last but not least!

6. If you do not do 1 - 5 you better have enough mental bend, true grit, pride, whatever it is- to enjoy 3 hours and 43 minutes of torture!

IT WAS SOO DANG COOL!!!

Going to go for a half iron in Oct, or at least another Olympic, on my way to Ironman in 08!

GET SOME!!!

FF

p.s. I promise to give US a better time next time. HILLS in FL- who would'a thunk it!
 
FF!

I was camping for 5 days and missed all your questions! UGH. OK well I'm glad of all the lessons you learned during your race, but I'm sorry you had to learn them all the super duper hard way! I should have told you that accelerade is a kicker if you aren't used to it racing. You HAVE to train with the food you'll use when you race, there is NO way around that. You WILL blow chunks with anything you're not used to. Also...what the hell was up with that dinner dude??! :eek: I'm glad you have such a positive outlook on it still and are even thinking of a HALF! haha. you crack me up. I'd like to do a half myself in March.
Well, I'm sure what else to say except I'm really proud of your effort and enthusiasm. Loved the mental pictures you created for us my friend!!!!
